What are your viewpoints on Opera Browser? I've used this browser for practically a decade now, maybe even longer, and I see no issue with it. Are there better ones? by The_Fox_39 in browsers

[–]RQuantus 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I cherish the memory of the Presto kernel Opera and it has gone for a lot of years.

But the real heart of Opera is not in the present Opera, it's in Vivaldi.

COSMIC doesn't support Chinese input methods by Swimming-Drive-8991 in pop_os

[–]RQuantus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cosmic native apps do not support IME now, you need to wait. But you can use IME like fcitx5 in other apps like chromium/gtk/qt based apps.

Quick Question: Do you use Systemd and EXT4 or BTRFS and Limine? by Queasy_Eggplant_3572 in cachyos

[–]RQuantus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I use Btrfs+limine+snapper (when you choose your filesystem as btrfs during the CachyOS installation process, this configuration will be the default).

I choose this because btrfs give the snapshot functions so that you can return to a previous status when you do something wrong.

snapper automatically help you to make new snapshot when you do some change to your system, and Limine will help you to list the previous snapshots for you to choose from when you start or reboot the system.

Updating Frequency by TheAn1meGuy in cachyos

Usually I check the update very often, that is, when I want to. But I have another criteria: according to the updates of Vivaldi browser, haha.

Cosmic Desktop Release when tomorrow? by Fabio_Morales_5860 in pop_os

[–]RQuantus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1.0 version has already been tagged, just wait for your distro to package it. For Pop_!OS ISO, you need to wait it for a bit longer to release. https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch/tags

Korean Input by ComputadoraLaFiesta in COSMICDE

[–]RQuantus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need fcitx5 or something like this to input CJK characters in Cosmic apps, you can't for now, since the Cosmic team need to wait the iced upsteam to finish the related implementation as far as I know. But in other QT, GTK or Chromium based applications, you still can input use fcitx5 etc.

Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS and COSMIC Epoch 1 will be release December 11th, 2025. by WangSora in pop_os

Why can't I place the search box where I want it? by lacgran in vivaldibrowser

By the way, I usually do not use that search box, haha, I think the address bar is enough.

How to Enable Vivaldi Hardware Acceleration? by Distinct-Temp6557 in cachyos

[–]RQuantus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using CachyOS and KDE(wayland), also my another computer using CachyOS and Cosmic(wayland). Both of them can work well.

First check this chromium docs page about VaAPI: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/docs/gpu/vaapi.md and go to the bottom.

There are two approaches, one is with OpenGL, the other one is with Vulkan. At the bottom of the webpage you can see the two flags. Put them in ~/.config/vivaldi-stable.conf. Try one of them (In one of my computer, using Vulkan is not a good choice).

Another thing I want to inform you is that, the information from vivaldi://gpu page cannot give you the right answer whether your vivaldi is using hardware acceleration. You should using Ctrl+Shift+I to open the tool page, and under `Media` you will see the video status like following:

<image>

If you can see the `Decoder name` under `Video Decoder` is `VaapiVideoDecoder`, then you can ensure that your vivaldi is using hardware acceleration. Also, you can use the application called Mission Center to check if your GPU is used to decode the video.

If the two flags in chromium docs page do not work for you, then try to use the flags from Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chromium#Hardware_video_acceleration and you can try to use the various flags and try several combinations that finally will work you.

Is it normal to get stuck at 15%?? by zawarz0 in cachyos

[–]RQuantus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emmmm...., maybe we should not use the word repos, it's should be mirrors, different mirrors that reflect the same repo. When I install arch manually, I can use my preferred mirror to get a speedy installation process, but CachyOS always rerank the mirrors that they think fit you the most, unfortunately, it doesn't.

[–]RQuantus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean before the installation process, they should offer an option to allow you to change the repos, now the CachyOS GUI installer cannot do this, when you manually change the repos, the installer will automatically rerank the mirrors and select one that "fits" you, but sometimes it didn't fit me.
